Albert Einstein - 1,461 words
Albert Einstein Albert Einstein In the next few
pages I will talk about a famous mathematician I
decided to choose and write an essay about. I
chose probably the most well known
mathematician/inventor in the world, his name is
Albert Einstein. I chose him because he is the one
I know the most about and finding information
would not have been as hard. In the next few pages
I will tell you about his life as a kid, his life
as a mathematician, and his life as an inventor.
His name was Albert Einstein. He was born on March
14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Before his first
birthday, his family had moved to Munich were
Albert's father, Hermann Einstein, and uncle set
up a small Electro-chemical business. ...

Albert Einsteinman Of Vision - 1,905 words
Albert Einstein-Man Of Vision Albert Einstein: Man
of Vision Albert Einstein, perhaps the greatest
mind ever to have walked the face of the earth,
was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. As a
boy, he hated school, and felt that the regimented
and repetitive nature of schooling in Germany at
that time had any promise of helping his future.
He did not do well in school, mainly because he
did not care to learn what was being taught to
him. While he seemed to be a bright child, his
schoolwork did not interest him, but at the same
time the simple compass that his father owned
fascinated him. Albert constantly harassed his
father and his Uncle Jake with questions
concerning how the compass wor ...

... and adults. The only reason man is able to
perform these vital operations is because dogs,
who are the closest model to humans for this type
of procedure at this time, were used for
experimentation. By using the canines for
experimentation, they have been able to perfect
heart surgery in humans (Wil 65). Another benefit
humans have had because of animal experimentation
is the treatment of familial hypercholestolemia.
It was discovered that Watanabe rabbits have a
genetic disorder in which they have dangerously
high cholesterol levels. A doctor found this
problem on the rabbits' feet, which had yellow
"pockets" full of liquid. He soon found out this
disorder was similar to the ones in hu ...

Astronomers Have Announced That A Large Asteroid On A Trajectory Heading Toward The Vicinity Of Earth Will, In Fact, Pass No - 479 words
Astronomers have announced that a large asteroid
on a trajectory heading toward the vicinity of
Earth will, in fact, pass no closer to the planet
than about 600,000 miles (about 966,000
kilometers). The announcement brought sighs of
relief to the general public and scientific
community, both of which had been in a frenzy
since an earlier announcement suggested the space
rock would pass much closer and possibly collide
with the Earth. Such an impact would have
catastrophic implications for the planet. Much
evidence exists to indicate that ancient
bombardment of the Earth by asteroids and comets
may have precipitated mass extinctions of
dinosaurs and other species. An announcement on
March 11 ...

... or real, existing ones. The singularity in the
this hole is more time-like, while the other is
more space-like. With this subtle difference,
objects would be able to enter the black whole
from regions away from the equator of the event
horizon and not be destroyed. The reason it is
called a black hole is because any light inside of
the singularity would be pulled back by the
infinite gravity so that none of it could escape.
As a result anything passing beyond the event
horizon would dissappear from sight forever, thus
making the black hole impossible for humans to see
without using technologicalyl advanced instruments
for measuring such things like radiation. The
second part of the name ...

Censorship Welcome To The Monkey House - 1,555 words
... ad to quit reproducing so much, and the people
who understood morals said that society would
collapse if people used sex for nothing but
pleasure This story is not nearly as pessimistic
as some of Vonnegut's other novels, however it
isn't optimistic either. The story makes the
government and the scientific community the
villains of the story for taking away sex. It also
makes Billy the Poet a hero for rebelling against
the government edict and for spreading his
philosophy of pleasure through sexual intercourse.
One thing that should be pointed out about this
story is that it was originally written for
Playboy magazine. One of the ironies of the story
was after Billy raped the suicide hos ...

Charles Darwin 18091882 - 423 words
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) From a young age
Charles Darwin disliked school and instead he
liked observing birds and collecting insects to
study. When he was 16 years old, Darwin was sent
to a medical school in Scotland, which he found as
a waste of time. In 1827, Darwin enrolled in the
University of Cambridge, England. He also though
that his time was wasted there too, as far as
academic studies were concerned. Henslow, a
professor of botany in Cambridge and Darwins
friend, encouraged Darwin in his studies of
natural history. In 1831 Henslow recommended that
Darwin be chosen for the position of naturalist on
the ship the HMS Beagle. For Darwin, the Beagle
was chartered for a five-year mappin ...

scientific process of combining the DNA of one
organism with the egg of another. Creating a
perfect genetically matched lifeform. In other
words getting an egg and fertilizing it. Then
putting it back in the a surrogate mother. II. Who
cloned Dolly? Scottish embryologist named Ian
Wilmut cloned a Finn Dorset lamb named Dolly from
fully different adult mother cells. A. Education

amazement or would your heart be filled with fear?
At first some people may look upon the idea of
cloning with disgust and question themselves if
humans should play God while others would be
interested and study the many possibilities that
cloning offers. This illustrates the path that
cloning has taken over the latter part of the
twentieth century. At first, when cloning was
brought up in conversations, people tended to
fearfully think of an army of identical persons
marching across the earth in hopes of ruling
humans. This and many other absurd not ...

Cloning Humans "And the Lord God formed man of the
dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrilsthe breath of life; and man became a
livingsoul . . . and He took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib,
which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a
woman and brought her unto man." -Genesis 2:7
21-22 Human cloning is becoming one of the most
controversial topics of our time. With recent
technological breakthroughs, whole new fields are
opening with amazing possibilities. Despite the
great advantages that cloning can offer humanity,
there are just as many negative aspects of the
technology, which have given way to large
anti-cloning groups who are gaining ...

astronomy. He made investigations quietly and
alone, without any help. He observed from ...

Creationism - 1,390 words
Creationism Creationism is a religious
metaphysical theory about the origin of the
universe. It is not a scientific theory.
Technically, creationism is not necessarily
connected to any particular religion. It simply
requires a belief in a Creator. Millions of
Christians and non-Christians believe there is a
Creator of the universe and that scientific
theories such as the the theory of evolution do
not conflict with belief in a Creator. However,
fundamentalist Christians such as Ronald Reagan
and Jerry Falwell, have co-opted the term
'creationism' and it is now difficult to refer to
creationism without being understood as referring
to fundamentalist Christians who (a) take the
stories in Gene ...

Diamond - 1,187 words
Diamond The unique nature of diamond is heavily
dependent upon its composition, crystal structure,
and mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic
properties.1 Of those dependencies, composition
exacts the most influence over the
characteristics. Crystal structure is the
repeating pattern of diamonds composition, and
each of the properties are the result of molecular
interaction which is determined by composition.
Therefore, composition is paramount in the
determination of the qualities of diamond. Before
its discovery, adamantane was known as
decaterpene, the name applied by Decker to his
tricyclic hydrocarbon. Decker believed that his
decaterpene was similar in structure as the
diamond lattic ...

Dna Profiling - 1,264 words
DNA Profiling Genetic engineering has developed
and blossomed at a frightening rate in the last
decade. Originating as merely an area of interest
for scientists, genetic engineering has now become
an area of which all people should be somewhat
knowledgeable. DNA profiling has many uses, both
positive and negative, in our society. Aside from
its usefulness in many legal investigations, DNA
profiling can be used in the workplace to
discriminate against employees whose profiles
could pose a financial risk. For example, genetic
technology can and has been used to determine the
capacity of a person to contract certain diseases,
such as sickle-cell anemia, which could cause many
employers to hesit ...

Dreams - 1,788 words
Dreams Someone once said, "Throw your dreams into
space like a kite, and you do not know what it
will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new
love, a new country" (Nin, The Diaries of Anais).
Dreams are the result of subconscious thoughts and
desires. The other theory to dreams are random
noises in the neurons of the brain without special
meaning. Dreams are the mental activity that takes
place during sleep. "Usually during REM sleep is
when dreams occur" (Oxford University). Normally
everyone dreams several times a night...some drugs
and alcohol may impair the dream process. The
inability to recall dreams is not abnormal though.

England Went Through Dramatic Changes In The 19th Century - 511 words
England went through dramatic changes in the 19th
century. English culture, socio-economic structure
and politics where largely influenced by the
principles of science. Many social expressions
occurred due to these changes. Transformations
which categorized this time period could be
observed in social institutions; for instance: the
switch from popular Evangelicalism to atheism,
emergence of feminism and the creation of new
political ideologies (Liberalism, Conservatism and
Radicalism). These are just a few of the changes
that took place. All of this social alteration can
be attributed to the importance of science. The
English people began to trust more in empiricism
and logical thought than ...

Ethics Of Embryonic Cloning - 1,341 words
Ethics of Embryonic Cloning Embryonic Wars The
specific objective of this major essay is to
clarify and summarise the controversial debate
concerning the ethical decency of embryonic
cloning for therapeutic purposes. This is the form
of cloning that is supposedly beneficial to a
barrage of medical applications. We will identify
the key opposing ethical perspectives such as
those of the justification of embryonic research
based on the normative theory of consequentialism.
This paper will also probe into the relatively
brief history of the debate while gauging the
particular stumbling blocks of disagreement which
bioethicists have arrived at. The topical aspects
of therapeutic cloning will be ...
